GDPR & EU AI Act Compliance Assessment

The GDPR governs how you handle personal data. The EU AI Act governs how you build, procure and use AI systems. They overlap, both are now in force, and both carry fines running into tens of millions. For lawyers, DPOs, compliance officers and HR, this is no longer dry knowledge, but a daily working file. The GDPR & EU AI Act Compliance Assessment measures in 20 multiple-choice questions whether a candidate knows the regulations, can apply them in practice, and understands the distinction between what is governed where. For teams advising on privacy and AI use, and for organisations that are themselves responsible.

3 Reasons we love this assessment

01
Two rules, one reality
GDPR and the AI Act are often trained separately, but in practice they intersect at nearly every AI implementation. The test checks whether a candidate understands the overlap instead of knowing the two silos side by side.
02
Current, not 2018
Many existing GDPR tests are five years old and miss recent developments: high-risk AI, automated decision-making, biometrics, generative AI. The test is built around the rules as they currently stand.
03
Practical, not dogmatic
No nitpicking over article numbers. The test presents scenarios from daily compliance practice and asks: what's allowed, what's required, what's a fine risk.

Information

GDPR fundamentals in practice

Legal bases, purpose limitation, data subject rights, breach notification. Applied to hiring, marketing, customer contact and internal processes.

EU AI Act: risk classification

Prohibited AI, high-risk AI, transparency obligations and general-purpose AI. How to recognise which category a system falls into and which obligations apply.

Where GDPR and AI Act meet

Automated decision-making, biometric identification, profiling, DPIA vs. FRIA. The intersections that still confuse many professionals.

Fines, enforcement and governance

Who enforces what, how high can fines go, which governance structure (DPO, AI officer, board) belongs with it. Practically usable in management conversations.
